Bud Light suffers bloodbath as longtime and loyal consumers revolt against transgender campaign

Bud Light suffered a bloodbath this past weekend.

Consumers nationwide revolted against the nation's top-selling beer brand after it stepped "recklessly" into the culture wars last week with its new spokesperson, transgender TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney, according to bar owners and beer-industry experts around the country.

"I think society flexes it muscles sometimes and reminds manufacturers that the consumer is still in charge," Jeff Fitter, owner of Case & Bucks, a restaurant and sports bar in Barnhart, Missouri, told FOX Business.

BUD LIGHT SAYS PACT WITH TRANS ACTIVIST DYLAN MULVANEY HELPS ‘AUTHENTICALLY CONNECT WITH AUDIENCES’

"In Bud Light's effort to be inclusive, they excluded almost everybody else, including their traditional audience."

He cited sports fans, working people and women as loyal Bud Light consumers the brand suddenly excluded in its race to go woke.

There are those that only respect what they fear.”

And salt the ground. Don’t forget about salting the ground.

I do not drink massive amounts of Genesee, 2 or 3 tops.

Their seasonal Bock Beer is pretty good too, a Spring beer.

It has never made me sick at all. I like the flavors and taste of their products. A good working man's beer.

Heh.

Sure thing buddy.

Your way has got us to the point where schools, the psych industry and medical industry are manipulating our children into permanent surgical gender mutilation.

And that’s just ONE huge indicator of fail in your entire concept of how to fight the culture war.

You simpering suck.

You and your mindset are a LOT of the reason we are where we’re at.

And no. Your concept of cause and effect in the corporate world is not meaningful nor accurate.

The losses will simply be transfered an covered by other product sales.

And the issue now isn’t Budweiser, dumbass. It’s ALL the corporate world.

Make an example and make it painful. and make it stick.

Please. Sit down. Shut up.

Look what happened to the NFL, Nike, Gillette, Target, etc.?

Eventually they all got their business back.

It does not appear that is at all the case, at least in regards Gillette. While the story is rather more complicated than the “Gillette loses $8 billion” headlines - which reflected several circumstances unrelated to the ad as well - their new level set is about 20% or so lower than they were, with many customers moving to Harry’s and Dollar Shave Club. That migration had been going on for a few years, but rapidly accelerated in 2019.

Of all of that crap, the only thing I sometimes purchased was Michelob Ultra...it is the only Buttwiper beer product that doesn’t suck 100% of the time you drink it!!

All Buttwiper products taste like crap from the first to the last, except Ultra...it usually stops completely sucking after the 2nd or 3rd beer!

I swear, Buttwiper beer gives me a worse morning-after-mouth taste than chain-smoking three $1 cigars!

I absolutely HATE Buttwiper beer - ALL OF IT!!

I noted you evaded, ducked, dodged and danced around the question. What a surprise.

Lets try again, do ya think Budweiser is going to slap transgenders on any more of their products again?

“But I know quite a few who are back to AIS on Sundays watching the game.”

Even here in Freeperland the previous addicts are back to binging. Addictions are hard to break.

(What’s AIS?)

Looks like Grimmy was calling for his own boycott...Hmmm..

General Motors CANCELS advertising on Twitter after Elon Musk takes over while other companies consider pulling out if Donald Trump makes a return

Companies doing this should be remembered for it.

Calling for a boycott were ya?

Hypocrite much Grimmy?

“It does not appear that is at all the case, at least in regards Gillette. While the story is rather more complicated than the “Gillette loses $8 billion” headlines - which reflected several circumstances unrelated to the ad as well”

Yes I know they lost quite a bit in the aftermath of the ad. The key question is, how much have they gained back?

I’m sure not all the old customers have gone back, but I bet over 50% have and with all the new young men coming of shaving age and don’t know about that ad probably use gillette in similar proportions as before the ad.

Our problem is that we win a temporary battle but then fall asleep and continue losing the war.

The only way to make an impact is to isolate one of these bastard companies and actually put them out of business... forever. And then go on to the next one.

But sadly I don’t see that happening. Unlike the left, we lack strength in our convictions, whereas they are like rabid dogs for theirs.

Why that is, I don’t know. Do you?
